A/N: As usual, looking for requests! But, only for Gen VI Pokémon. I plan on having all Gen I-IV Pokémon covered in the next five stories. And what do you know, this entry gets I-IV done.

Magneton, Magnezone, and Probopass

It's impossible! It goes against the rules of the world. Look, it's plain a day that there are limits to Pokemon evolution. Some Pokemon never evolve; nothing that is done to them will make them change. Some Pokemon can evolve more than once. However, such Pokemon only ever evolve twice! They have three stages and that's it. It's a rule.

So many disbelievers, stuck with thoughts of what was obvious. They thought there were rules to the world, and there probably were such rules. But the Mallus group felt that what rules the world had weren't what people understood them to be. In the past century, science and technology had advanced by leaps and bounds. It didn't even have to be that long to see mankind's progress. There were machines that were once thought to be impossible, such as the holocaster, as little as ten years ago. But now they were commonplace, so light and sturdy that a holocaster unit could be comfortably worn on the arm in any conditions. That meant that what was thought impossible might in fact be possible.

Like surpassing the limits of Pokemon evolution. There was evidence that the three stage upper limit wasn't so. There was Mega Evolution to account for in that, as third stage Pokemon such as Gardevoir and Blastoise could do so. Charizard even had two possible mega-evolutions! While it was only temporary using old methods, there might be a way to make the mega-evolved form permanent instead of temporary. There might be a way to make any Pokemon mega-evolve. Thus, there might be a way to make any Pokemon evolve even further.

Some critics still thought they were using bad logic, but the Mallus group wasn't one to adhere to standard ideas.

They decided to work on the leader's favorite Pokemon, the Magnemite family and the Nosepass family. Making a Probopass evolve would be nice, although it wouldn't necessarily prove their theories unless they could get it to evolve twice more. On the other hand, getting a Magnezone to evolve would be perfect proof, opening up a whole range of possibilities. They just had to find how to do so.

As both Nosepass and Magneton would evolve under similar circumstances of a powerful magnetic field, the Mallus group had theorized that any further evolution would require the same. Perhaps more powerful? They had managed to recreate those circumstances within their lab, which was designed to contain such magnetic fields to not disturb the city they were located in. The resulting Probopasses and Magnezones had been taken out to do intensive training. For most evolutions, a build-up of particular biochemicals that were produced in result to winning battles was the cause. The energy from that might be required for this next evolution.

When the test subjects appeared ready, they were taken back to the electromagnetism lab. The group had analyzed various stones related to Mega Evolution, coming up with their own synthesized stones that should work with them. However, as all the Pokemon involved could generate their own strong electromagnetic fields, it wasn't a good idea for the human scientists to go into the lab when the Magnetons, Magnezones, and Probopasses were all in there. But they did have three Probopasses, each with three satellite units. The nine rocky Mini-Noses darted in and out of the lab, bringing in the hold items to pass out and relaying orders.

"We do have the synthesized stones set to one of each proper and one of each improper?" the leader asked, going down a checklist. Giving the Pokemon the wrong mega stone was said to do nothing, but just because it was said didn't mean it was so.

"Yes, you can trust the Mini-Noses."

"I've got them detected that way," another said, turning from a monitor.

"Good, good." The leader continued down the list until the first part was confirmed done. "All right, seal the door!" The concrete dirt-packed door rumbled to its closed position, machines clattering into position until a solid heavy clunk signaled that all of the pieces were in place. Nothing would be getting through that door, not even electricity. "Get the Magnetons into position and building the field."

One worker on the radio unit gave the orders for the Pokemon. While the Probopasses also generated a magnetic field, they could not direct and empower it like the Magnetons or Magnezones. And the latter of that group stood a better chance of evolving if they weren't focus on using so much energy. The Magnetons got themselves encircling the six other Pokemon, holding their magnet arms towards each other. As the electromagnetic field grew, the Magnetons pulled closer to each other.

Meanwhile, the three Probopasses and three Magnezones were in playful moods. One Magnezone kept sculpting the nearby Probopass' mustache into various forms, which it stoically reformed each time the Magnezone gave a buzzing laugh. Another Magnezone had produced a pair of satellite units of its own, much too simple for being new Magnemites. It and two of the Probopass were trying to juggle their satellites with each other. The last Magnezone shifted around and made sure none of them, not even the satellite units, left the circle of Magnetons.

Then the juggled satellite units started slowing down. "We're at the field strength needed to evolve the Magnetons."

The leader nodded. "Have them maintain it for five minutes."

However, nothing changed them. Not even the Magnetons. The jugglers had switched over to playing some game with the satellites that resembled a dance.

They'd suspected this would be. But initiating a battle wasn't easy with the number of field supporting Magnetons in the group. There needed to be more to gain that kind of space. "Increase the power of the field."

The Magnetons began shimmering in their efforts to comply with the orders. The visibility into the room became blurred. Not badly, they could still see… the jugglers had to put off their game as the units were becoming difficult to move. In fact, all six Pokemon within the circle were having trouble moving now. Whistles and clicks came through the speakers; at least one of them was becoming anxious. Then the Magnezone that had been monitoring the rest attempted to wave its magnet arm and scold the others into obedience. Its hull shone as it started contributing. Before long, the other five cooperated as well.

Then, a serious of brilliant flashes made the monitor turn white briefly. In the observation room, the scientists hoped it had worked… they wanted it to work… but no. That was all of the encircling Magnetons evolving in reaction to electromagnetic field. It was growing so powerful that the electronic equipment started flashing, giving off warnings that even with the shields, they might not be able to withstand it much longer.

"What now?"

The leader was determined to see this through. "We've got to maintain this level for a time, see what happens. Shut off the delicate stuff if need be, switch over to other equipment to keep measurements."

Within the lab, the newly evolved Magnezones found themselves full of energy. Excited, they put all the effort they could into this field. The speakers crackled, making it so that the human giving orders couldn't be heard clearly. The six within the circle figured things had to be going well for the others to evolve, so they put all their efforts into it too. With the electromagnetic field continuing to grow, the few things left inside the lab with the Pokemon began to vibrate, even lifting off the ground in defiance of gravity. There was a wave cracks and snaps as the concrete walls could not contain the energy.

Shrill sirens from outside. "****, we triggered the Magneton alarms," the leader said, annoyed again at the laws restricting their research.

"Should we get them to stop?"

"No, let's see how far this can go."

Not even a minute later, the walls of the electromagnetism lab crumbled like cheese. The lights in other parts of the building grew intense before crashing into darkness. And the wave of the blackout spread through the entire city, only slowing down twenty-five miles outside its borders. Even worse, none of the Magnezones nor the Probopass had evolved in the incident.

The Mallus Group nearly lost everything as a result, but they managed to slowly rebuild with sales of the synthesized mega-stones.

...

Probopass Diamond/Pearl entry: It exudes strong magnetism from all over. It controls three small units called Mini-Noses.

Magneton Omega Ruby entry: Magneton emits a powerful magnetic force that is fatal to mechanical devices. As a result, large cities sound sirens to warn citizens of large-scale outbreaks of this Pokemon.

Magnezone Platinum entry: A group tried to use scientific means to make Magnezone evolve, but their efforts ended in failure.
